No matter how you use your credit card (direct, PayPal, etc.), you're
covered. I'm a merchant, and believe me, the credit card company sucks the
money out of the merchant's account (chargeback) the moment a complaint is
filed. Then it's the merchant's responsibility to prove the sale is valid
and have the chargeback reversed. Merchant must show proof of delivery,
signature from an in-person sale, etc. to get the money back. As I tell all
my customers who are new to online buying, "Use your card and you're 100%
covered".
- I'll have to change banks or get another CC. I discussed this ebay
(shingles) transactions w/ them and was told I was on my own if
charged via paypal.
anyway, the seller doesnt accept CC unless it is processed via paypal
and then paypal covers only $200. Shingles are useless unless
accompanied by matching accessories.

That said, your seller only guarantees $200 by PayPal and only offers
"merchandise credit" not a refund, so you might want to do some more
checking. Also, a very small number of transactions/feedback for 3 years as
a user. Has this person sold this type of item in the recent past? Check the
feedback and contact previous customers and see if the seller is legit.
the seller is legit. I talked to Tamko sales dept. in Aug. and he is
registered as a reseller in good standing - no complaints. That was
his main theme when I refused to wire funds. the more he insisted on
how good he is and how he needs to protect himself from unscrupulous
customers the more I knew something's wrong w/ that deal. also, his
company, CCA inc doesnt accept credit cards to keep their costs down -
go figure...
